I have the tool. After removing the main pulley you slide this dude up on the shaft and it has a nice carter pin that shoves into a couple holes in the tool. The carter pin goes into a grove cut into the transmission shaft. The tool features a threaded shaft and a nut along with a few washers. After securing the rig to the shaft, you tighten the nut, and that causes the spring to get compressed inside the brake package. You know you are far enough when the whole shebang turns freely. You then remove the screws and back slowly off the shaft till the bottom plate and the spring comes off.

The brake tool, 12002012, is NLA. If you remove the screws you may die or lose a limb. I've heard of people replacing the screws, one at a time, with longer screws. Then backing them out a little at a time until the spring tension is released. You can borrow my brake tool, but I will need a $300 deposit and you pay shipping both ways.

You can make a tool. All you need is a little 1 inch all thread about a foot long. A piece of thread pipe 3 inchs long with 2 holes drilled in it, a few washers, a nut, and a u-bolt.
